A smooth and refreshing strawberry sorbet enhanced with a hint of citrusy Cointreau. This elegant, dairy-free dessert is vibrant, light, and perfect for warm days.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons Cointreau
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. In a saucepan, combine sugar and water over medium heat, stirring until fully dissolved to create a simple syrup. Let it cool.
  2. Blend the strawberries until smooth, then strain if a finer texture is desired.
  3. In a bowl, combine the strawberry purée with the cooled syrup.
  4. Stir in the Cointreau and lemon juice until well mixed.
  5. Refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours until thoroughly chilled.
  6. Pour into an ice cream maker and churn according to manufacturer instructions.
  7. Transfer to a container and freeze for 2–4 hours until firm before serving.

Notes

  • For a non-alcoholic version, omit Cointreau and add orange zest or juice.
  • Strain the purée for a smoother texture.
  • Let sorbet sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before scooping.
  • Avoid repeated thawing and refreezing to maintain texture.
  • Store in the freezer for up to 1 week.
